ragbreak
weaves bold contemporary and more subtle
traditional
rugs that look right at home everywhere from log
cabins to city lofts.
We like simple, straightforward designs with
thick,
strong warps and showy wool or flannel
wefts. |

| fabrics |
ragbreak
uses a wide range of rich solids, plaids, tweeds
and
other 100% virgin wool mill ends. Good wool makes
lively and long-wearing rugs because the natural
fiber is strong, colorfast and almost dirtproof.
We also use flannel chamois remnants for machine
washable area rugs that have much the same look
and feel as wool. |

looms
|
ragbreak
weaves narrow rugs on an old 36-inch wide Union
loom and wide rugs on a new state-of-the-art
10-foot
AVL rug loom custom built in Northern
California.
The widest rug is a few inches shy of ten feet;
there is no limit on length. Both looms beat
tough
and tightly-woven rugs that beg for foot traffic
and flattery. |

| prices |
Prices
vary based on size, fabric, and the complication
of weave (hit and miss, boxes, loops, tapestries)
but a good rule of thumb is $15-25 per square foot
plus tax and shipping. ragbreak will provide an
agreement describing payment and delivery
schedules.
A 20% materials deposit is requested at the time
of order. The balance is due prior to shipping.
Shipping by FedEx is prepaid for most rugs. For
large rugs requiring special handling, shipping
is COD. |

| care |
Cotton
flannel and wool appear similar when woven into
a rag rug. Both need the same care as a favorite
sweater. Cotton rugs are recommended for kitchens,
bathrooms and wet places because it is more
washable
(but somewhat less stain resistant.) Machine wash
small cotton rugs and wash big cotton rugs in a
bathtub. Wool rugs are recommended for bedrooms,
hallways and living rooms. Hand wash wool rugs
with
Woolite in a bathtub. Both types can be hung to
dry. |
